Vandals broke into Dundee allotments and trashed the plots of nine gardeners.
They smashed numerous panes of greenhouse glass, causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage, during the incident at West Law over the weekend.
The culprits trampled over growing vegetables and flowers, and in one of the greenhouses destroyed a set of delicate daffodils.
They were due to be entered into a flower show this weekend by gardener Don Elder, who started growing them in September.
Mr Elder, 70, of St Leonards Place, said: “I couldn’t even go in at first to look at the damage, I was just too upset.
“They must have picked up the big stones from the neighbouring plot and thrown them at the greenhouse.
“There was glass all over my champion blooms and none of them were salvageable.”
A spokeswoman for Tayside Division of Police Scotland said: “Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
